do you see why this DIY is basically free? I already had scissors and tape, I stocked up on paint chips for my DIY projects during my last walmart visit, and I saved the bottles from drinks we had in our house.

You could use vintage bottles if you have them, or you can just collect bottles like I did. I used the Trader Joe’s root beer bottles. And you can leave the adhesive on them because it helps hold the paint chip in place.

{how you do it}

Seriously, I think my 21 month old kid could do this. I would let him try, but he throws things and the bottles are glass – not great parenting. But trust me, this is beyond E-A-S-Y.

{Step 1} Take one end of the paint chip and secure it with double side tape onto the bottle.

{Step 2} Wrap the paint chip around the bottle.

{Step 3} Secure the second end of the paint chip with double side or washi tape. You could cut to size or just let it overlap. I overlapped mine.

{Step 4} Repeat steps 1-3 for as many bottles as you want to make.

I think these are cute for a party or a shower as well as a wedding. If you do them for a wedding and have lots of them you could do a few different things:

~use multiple colors of the paint chips from your palette

~ you could vary the size of the bottles (these long & skinny paint chips would fit around some wine bottles too)
